"Rudolph, the Sanctuary is not like the Imperial Army, they are not a bunch of monkeys who have lost their leader, they will be at a loss and fight each other, they are a group of disciplined worker ants, they will strictly obey their orders as long as the brood is still alive.

Odin's unusual sense of smell was unusual, and he smelled a faint fragrance wafting in the distance - it was the smell of divine incense, and he felt a little annoyed as he watched the flames of the Templar sacrifice gradually extinguish, "This morning, I learned about Becky's strategy, and I unleashed the power of the Origin, but it still didn't stop the mages of the Sanctuary from scattering into the jungle. ”

"This will have serious consequences. Odin straightened his back and looked at Rudolph with ghostly eyes: "The power of the Sanctuary spellcasters is not weak, if you fight one-on-one, do you think the chances of victory for the Deep Valley Mage Group are good?"

"Honestly...... Before mastering woodcut printing, we didn't have the slightest advantage. Rudolph didn't understand why Odin suddenly asked this question: "But once I have mastered the woodcut seal, I can guarantee that the mages of the deep valley will not be defeated in battle." If the enemy gathers together - for us there is no doubt that it is more advantageous. ”

Odin picked up a woodcut magic seal, observed the three sides of the triangle, and said, "Didn't you find that the three magic circles in Pariva City are mainly used for defense, and the effect on the group is better?"

Rudolph was silent for a moment, and whispered, "Yes - so you mean that once they disperse into the jungle, there is nothing we can do about them?"

"No, I don't think so, sir. Rudolph's eyes gleamed under the torches, "We use the woodcut seal, and we are more than capable of outperforming any Sanctuary spellcaster who participates in the war. ”

"To put it simply, they can't attack us, and we can turn enemy attacks into our own power at any time. They are completely unable to break through the defenses, and as soon as they show up, we concentrate our forces on them. Besides, we have a shorter cast time than theirs. Rudolph looked confident.

"So, do you think you can easily repel the Templars and Imperial forces with the interference of the Sanctuary spellcasters?" asked Odin as he put down the woodcut seal.

"Becky's cleverness lies in the fact that he is very calm in his understanding that the Sanctuary spellcasters, even if they gather, will not be able to defend themselves against your attacks. And scattered, they will not be able to overcome you in strength. So, he completely gave up on targeting you. ”

"You mean that they didn't intend to confront the Mage of the Deep Valley in the first place, but instead turned their attention to the civilian spellcasters?" Rudolph was surprised, "The dead commander was really a visionary. ”

"The commander was a genius to be able to judge the disposition of the defenders with only a few attacks, and to abandon the shackles of thinking and choose a seemingly difficult confrontation strategy. Odin didn't skimp on praise words.

"After his death, the Sanctuary army will not be thrown into chaos, but will immediately have a new successor, and strictly follow Becky's orders. The Templars will lead the Imperial army in a rapid charge, while the casters will hide in the jungle, interfering with your spell casting and attacking our civilian army. ”

Odin frowned again: "For us, once the walls are breached, they can be equated with defeat. ”

After listening to Odin's words, Rudolph also fell silent.

"Then we don't have a countermeasure?" asked Rudolph to Odin a moment later.

"There are two ways to do this, but after the illusion extinguishing was counteracted by Becky's circle, we fell into passivity. ”

"First, I dived into the jungle to find out where the Sanctuary mages were hiding, and strangled them one by one. Presumably tomorrow's battle will be much easier. On the other hand, when you confront each other, wait for them to attack, and once a Sanctuary caster casts a spell, you concentrate on killing them as much as possible. Odin lay back on the bench and watched the torch light sway in the night wind.

"But I decided to abandon the first approach. ”

"It's not that I don't have the ability to kill them, but on the surface, this method is safer, as long as the Sanctuary Army has no spellcasters, tomorrow's charging cavalry will be defeated by the power of Pariva's spells. ”

"The Deep Valley Mage Regiment is willing to go and kill the Sanctuary Army on your behalf. Rudolph thought that the Grey Warlock was unwilling to take any chances, so he voluntarily asked for help.

"It's not what you think," said Odin before Rudolph could finish speaking, "not that there is any danger in tonight's raid, but that the situation seems to be in the hands of the enemy now, and they don't need to report to the Sanctuary. If we can't wipe them out tonight, guess what?"

Rudolph thought about his days at the seminary, and only felt a chill down his spine, and he looked at Odin with some puzzlement, this warlock had more thoughtful thoughts than he had imagined.

"That's right, they will flee back and tell the Sanctuary about the battle, and then all the acolytes of the nearby city-states - Deep Valley City, Silver Eagle City, and White Forest City - will swear to bring Pariva to the ground, and if they can't be, the Holy Priest will join the war. They reached Pariva as fast as they could, and it was only three to five days. ”

Odin said slowly, "So, tell me, what's the point of us winning the Imperial army?"

Rudolph took a breath and then whispered, "But—even if there is no surprise attack tonight, after the battle, the acolytes who have fled back to the Sanctuary will also report on the battle at Pariva, I'm afraid...... The result is not different from what you say. ”

"I've spent so much time in the Imperial Capital, and I've arranged my eyes in the Sanctuary, just to buy time for Pariva City. Once they set foot on the southern battlefield, they should not be delusional and leave alive. Everyone, even the soul, will be annihilated here. With that, Odin smiled again.

"When the Imperial Capital and the Holy Domain get the news, and then send troops south, it is estimated that it will take another month, and this month is enough for me to do a lot of things. ”

The gray-robed warlock put his hand on the triangle, closed his eyes and meditated, the miniature circle gradually emitted light, and he whispered, "So, we have to preserve our strength. ”

After listening to Odin's words, Rudolph only felt that the wind in the middle of summer seemed to become cold, and he shivered from head to toe, and after a long time, he bowed to the closed-eyed warlock, and silently retreated.

At this point, his mind was like an unbalanced scale, and at one moment he thought that what the warlock said was a wild talk, and at another he felt that everything he said was a terrible reality that was about to be realized.

It is not known if the young lords of Pariva knew of his terrible plans, if the archmage Rose could accept his cruelty, and if the apostates really regarded him as a spiritual leader.

What is it about him that can bring together people with conflicting interests and have nothing to do with it, and obey his orders completely?

And Rudolph himself seems to have stepped into this dangerous and tempting abyss, going farther and farther on this road against the empire and the holy realm. (To be continued.) )
